About Jennifer
Jennifer Christensen is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Utah with five years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and depression. Jennifer speaks English and works with adults concerned about how early family patterns affect their lives today.
She uses practical, solution-focused methods in sessions. That means looking at what is and what can change, then trying straightforward skills and small experiments. Jennifer also draws from approaches such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EMDR, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to guide the work.
Sessions move at a steady, pragmatic pace. Conversations may include identifying unhelpful family roles, noticing how old expectations show up now, and practicing new ways of speaking or setting boundaries. She helps people sort through feelings like guilt, shame, emptiness, and loneliness so they can make clearer choices.
Jennifer brings prior nonclinical social work experience in community programming and education to her clinical role. That background supports a focus on concrete strategies and learning skills that fit everyday life. She is based in Utah and holds the credential LCSW.
People often seek her out when childhood patterns still affect relationships, parenting, or self-worth. Work in sessions typically pairs practical coping tools with opportunities to process difficult memories and attachments. Clients leave with steps they can test between meetings.
How her approaches translate to online work
Some methods Jennifer uses include Dialectical Behavior Therapy and EMDR. DBT focuses on building practical skills like emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It can help with overwhelming emotions and relationship patterns. EMDR involves guided processing of troubling memories and sensations to reduce their intensity and help people move forward.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jennifer will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean starting with skills-based DBT work, adding mindfulness practices, or introducing EMDR when the timing feels right.
Confirm the exact session formats available before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, and remove commute time so work can continue without large disruptions. Licensed professionals can use different methods remotely, and Jennifer will help match timing and approach to practical needs and preferences.
